About Fast foods, potato, french fried in vegetable oil

French fries are the quintessential fast-food side: potato batons fried in vegetable oil until the outside is crisp and the inside stays fluffy. Endlessly popular and hard to resist, they turn a plain potato into something far richer than the vegetable it started as.

Per 100 grams they supply about 314 calories, with roughly 16.1 grams of fat and 38.4 grams of carbohydrate from the potato and just 0.69 grams of sugar. There's a redeeming 3.5 grams of fiber and a modest 3.8 grams of protein, and because the salt is usually added after frying, sodium sits at a moderate 290 milligrams per 100 grams (a salted restaurant portion can run higher). A typical fast-food serving is larger than 100 grams, so a real order delivers more calories and fat than these figures.

The potato itself is wholesome — it's the deep-frying that adds most of the calories and fat. Fries are an occasional indulgence rather than an everyday vegetable; sharing a smaller size, going easy on added salt, and balancing them with a protein and something fresh keeps them in proportion. Oven-baked or air-fried potatoes at home are a lighter way to satisfy the same craving.
